Sierra Cars is bringing its range of Echo electric single-seaters to SEMA, including the Echo Block Edition that Lucy Block drove up Pikes Peak.
Ken Block's death in a snowmobiling accident at the beginning of the year meant he couldn't make the do-over runs he's planned to do at the, the five-year-old maker of racing single seaters committing to electric powertrains and its Echo range. Previously, the firm made hay with the ICE-powered 700, Alpha, and record-setting RX3 that showed up inpack and single electric motor.
Above that, the Echo R-Spec is described as a"race-spec rally/gymkhana inspired single-seater." The RS300 motor spins faster than the one in the base model, running output up to a peak of 280 hp and 350 lb-ft. It's got the same suspension and travel spec as the base, but the wheels are upgraded to aluminum and wrapped in 26-inch Yokohama Advan A305 Gravel Rally rubber.
Then there's the limited-production Echo Block Edition. Almost the same fitment as the R-Spec, the difference being in the Exit shocks with external reservoirs by ZBroz Racing and two standard sets of tires, either Yokohama slicks or the Gravel Rallys. Sierra says this one is"optimized to race Pikes Peak," but we assume owners will be able to find plenty of other suitable terrain for having a blast.
SEMA visitors can also visit the Hypercraft booth, where the electric powertrain maker will be showing its range of propulsion products and a few classic builds that use them. The powertrains include motors from as little as 306 hp to as much as 1,140 hp and 914 lb-ft, the classics count a 500-hp 1957
